We present a series of benign, but aggressive-appearing, USP6-rearranged myofibroblastic tumours. These deep-seated tumours had concerning clinical and radiographic presentations and did not fit into one distinct histological category. These cases highlight the diagnostic value of USP6 fusion detection to identify benign nondescript tumours of this group, especially those with aggressive features, to avoid overtreatment.
